Application filed February 27, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, GEORGE A. Person, a citizen of the United States, residing in Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pocket il-Gans, of which the following is a specification.

In the practice of rollersk'ating and bicying the journals of the skates or bicycles, and for adjusting parts of the machines, and

hence oil-cans and the tools needed in the adjusting operations have heretofore been made of asize and shape suitable for the pocket, so that the users of the machines may be always provided with the implements ordinarily needed by them, the cans and the tools being made {separate and distinct from each other. In my present invention I have aimed to combine these instrumentalities, or some of them, in a single implement, so that the skater or rider may in the single device be possessed of the number of tools required without being obliged to carry a number of separate things,

and more weighty. I

The invention is fully described below, and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, wherein- Figure 1 is a side view of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a perspective of the cap by which the parts are covered when in the pocket. Fig.

8 is an edge view, and Fig. 4 a central section,

of the same. Fig. 5 shows the device with 3 5 the tools moved apart or opened, so that either can be used; and Figs. 6, 7, and 8 show modifications of the invention.

In said drawings, A represents a pocket oilcan in the form ol a short cylinder, provided 0 with a nozzlao, extending outward'from its periphery. The nozzleis closed by a cap, a. The can A serves as the handle for such tools as the user requires. I have illustrated it as being used in connection with a screw-driver,

5 B, and skate-key G, adapting it to the needs of skaters; but of course these tools may be omitted and others substituted intheir stead. 'In order to attach the tools used with the can, I provide them with annular rings 6 c,

fitting the periphery of the can, and secure cling there is frequent occasion for lubricatwhich in the aggregate are much more bulky can, as shown.

them thereon by collars a, attached to or forming part of the can-body. \Vhen thus secured, the screw-driver and otherimplements may be Qturned upon the can Cas upon'fa piVOt to bring them to the position desired either for use, as in Fig. 5, or forthe pocket, as in Figs. 1, 3, and 4. In the latter positionzthe tools and the can-nozzle are brought so as to be parallel with and contiguous to each other, so that the hood d may be slipped over them to hold them together. It will be noticed that whenifone of the tools is toj be employed the body of the can acts as a ,handle Qor' grasp whereby the tool may be manipulated.

A further peculiarity of the closed or pocket position is found in the fact that in that position the can-nozzle is thoroughly shielded, one

tool being upon each side thereof, and when I the skate-key O is used it may be made as shown-that is, with the enlargement at its operating end standing'laterally with refer ence to its shank, thereby covering theLtop of the nozzle also.

In the modification, Fig. 6, the body and periphery of the can are shown as stamped outiof sheet metal, the periphery in the previous figures being of cast metal, and the tools are shown as being adjacentto each other upon the same side'of the nozzle. In Fig. 7 the tools are arranged as in Fig. 6, the periphery of the can being of cast metal. In Fig. 8 the tools, instead of being provided with rings encircling the ean,are hinged to the periphery thereof, one at either side of the nozzle, the hinging-points being preferably let into the In all these modifications the tools preferably fold into positions parallel with the nozzle, and when so folded afford more or less protection'to the nozzle, which of course should be shielded as much as possible. Hoods d may also be used with the modifications.

The nozzles I prefer to make removable, as shown, so that the can may be filled through the openings at their base. is not done, other openings must be provided.

It will be understood that I do not limit myself to the special shape or character of the tools shown, nor to the use of any particular number thereof.

Of course, if this 5 4. The combinatiomwith the oil-can having nozzle 0;, of the skate-key constructed with a lateral enlargement at its operating end, as shown, and for the purpose specified.

5. The combination of the oil-can, the screw-d river or other tool or tools, the latter being foldable parallel with the can-nozzle, with a hood covering said tools and nozzle, substantially as specified.
